AC Milan Junior Camp: Soccer Summer Camp - Italy AC Milan Academy Camp

Every single location is entrusted to the management and coordination of a Sporteventi HEAD COACH.
The Sporteventi HEAD COACH is in charge of the coordination of all Sporteventi coaches present at the camp (one for every 15 campers including the Responsible Manager) both on and off the soccer field. Trainings on the soccer field are directed directly and exclusively by the AC Milan Supervisor present on site; the Sporteventi HEAD COACH, following the guidelines set down by the AC Milan Supervisor, coordinates all the Sporteventi coaching staff.

Campers are divided into groups based mainly on age, physical growth and finally technical ability, which is judged the first day upon their arrival at the camp (Sunday afternoon).

Main age groups are:

	7-8 years
	9-11 years
	12-16 years

Following is a brief description of the type of work done by each group:

	7-8 years		Mainly working with the ball (guiding the ball, dribbling, shots on goal)
	9-11 years		Working with the ball and technical-tactical work (working 3 against 2 or 2 against 1, zone or man defense, movements without the ball)
	12-16 years		Mainly technical-tactical work

The morning is usually devoted to technical stations; afternoons are used for squad or individual tournaments (drives, shoot outs, penalty kicks, etc.).

As a general rule physical work is suspended on Wednesday afternoons to give campers time to recuperate from their hard work. "Recuperation" often occurs in a pool,whenever the town or hotel offers adequate installations.
